In our new series discussing 2023's gardens for good causes, we're starting with a deep dive into the inspiration behind and future plan of one of the recent gardens from RHS Chelsea - The Teapot Trust 'Elsewhere Garden'. Hattie is joined by Tom Steele, Director of Estates and Facilities, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, to discuss the relocation plan at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children within the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow. It will afford long term benefits and equitable access to transformational art therapy. Hattie also spoke with Ruth Girvan, Chair of the Teapot Trust, who has lived experience of the challenges of having a child with a long term health condition, JIA, and has experienced first-hand the life-changing impact Teapot Trust can have on children who go through multiple hospital visits, procedures and tests, and their ability to face into their (often invisible) condition. 

Recorded before the RHS Chelsea Flower Show where the garden won a Gold medal in the All About Plants category. The garden was designed by Semple Begg. Read more here.

In this live episode, Project Giving Back brought together charity representatives from this year's cohort of PGB funded gardens at the 2023 RHS Chelsea Flower Show for a discussion in the lead up to Chelsea.

The event was a chance for the 2023 funded charities to ask questions and hear from three representatives from our 2022 cohort giving a talk on the human impact of gardens.

The talk was hosted by Tom Harfleet, former RHS Chelsea Show Manager
